==Playstyle==
BONK! is known for having a strong punish game with Meta Knight, being highly proficient in both ladders and bridges, often with the use of multiple ladder resets. He has an aggressive neutral, creating openings to combo and finish off his opponent, sometimes carrying his opponents across the entire stage to do so.

He is also known for creating and popularizing the "Condor Dive", a technique in which a drill rush is performed (usually off or around a platform) and then angled down and toward the ledge, spiking recovering opponents.
